July 29, 2024 08:44A judo competitor representing Tajikistan refused to shake his Israeli opponent’s hand at the Paris Olympics and instead said “Allahu Akbar”.
Nurali Emomali later dislocated his arm in different fight, an incident Israel supporters described as “karma”.
Emomali, who won the match against Tohar Butbul, walked off the mat without making the respectful gesture to his Israeli opponent.
Instead, he chose to say "Allahu Akbar" while holding up a prayer symbol, known as the "Finger of Tawheed."
